Plans have shaped up for a truly  majestic Mount Shasta Retreat, August 10-12. Beginning  Friday evening  and carrying all the way to Sunday's spiritual conclusion, opportunities abound for a truly unique "Shasta" experience. 

Frank Thom, son of Kurak medicine man Charlie 'Red Hawk' Thom, will lead our Friday evening Drumming Ceremony. John Veltri and Marguerite Lorimer will join us, contributing their large Native American drum. Your own drums are a welcome addition to our drum circle!

Walking Backward into the Future
On Saturday, there are several offerings for relaxation within our 'forest therapy'. See the attached flyer below for a listing of the many activities available on Saturday. We're honored to have Certified Massage Therapist, Debbie from Stewart Mineral Springs, who is providing four one hour massages on Saturday. Her charge is $75/hr. You are coaxed to sign up soon, as two of her four sessions are already taken.

You are encouraged to bring a dish to share for evening meal at 5 PM on Saturday. We will be carpooling to Shasta for the "I Am Pageant" at 6 PM. Admission to the Pageant is free. Check out the attached "Shasta Retreat" file below for a complete list of details on all of the planned activities for this weekend retreat ~ August 10-12, 2018.

Chop Wood, Carry Water

There are many books with the title, "Chop Wood, Carry Water". It is difficult to attribute this philosophy to any one of them. It is actually an age-old Zen story. This is the way I heard it.

There was a master teacher and his student. A couple of his student chores were to chop wood and carry water. This student did these chores diligently everyday for many years.

One day, the master announced to the student that he had reached another level of higher consciousness. The student replied, “What do I do now?”

The master answered, “Chop wood and carry water.”

Why do I tell this story? Up here, wood is like gold. It is the main source of heat for people in the winter. However, you can’t wait ’til winter to prepare it.

A friend of mine has a dad in his 90’s. She tells me he still splits his wood by hand. Incredible!
